DOWNLOAD EBOOKBelievers need one another desperately, and we must love one another with God's agape love. We are born again into union with one another because we all share the same life-source - God Himself. Although the people in the Upper Room were of one accord as they awaited the empowering of the Holy Spirit, the wide-spread unity experienced as the church was ushered in was short-lived. By the middle of the first century Paul was imploring his readers over and over again to come into unity. Christian unity is based on our being bonded with one another in Christ from the core of our being, while the world experiences only a surface, outward, uniting by sharing common goals and interests. We must understand this difference, lest we move toward unifying as the unregenerate do and miss the heart-cry of our Lord - for us to be one as He and the Father are one.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew York Times-bestselling author Francis Chan calls for believers and churches everywhere to align our hearts with God and start taking seriously His numerous commands to unify. It is absolutely clear from Scripture that God passionately desires supernatural unity within His Church. Unity is what Jesus prays for, what He commands, and what He says will be our greatest witness to the world. If unity is so important to the heart of God, why is the Church one of the most divided groups on earth? While many believe doctrine is at the root of the problem, Francis argues that the real problem is the shallowness or non-existence of our love for each other—rooted in a shallowness in our understanding of the gospel. This is what desperately needs to change. The reason that God gifts the Church with leaders is so they can equip God’s people in a way that leads to “unity of the faith” (Ephesians 4:13). We have done a poor job at this, but it can all change. Those who are believers will hear the call and be “eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace” (v. 3). There will be opposition, but we cannot allow anything to discourage us from giving everything we have to the pursuit of a unified, restored Bride.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAll who believe that there is one God, creator of all things, who sent his only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins by dying on the cross and rising again from the dead are Christians. If this is the foundation of our belief, then why are there so many denominations, none of which provide perfect understanding, practice, or worship for our faith; none of which accurately follow the original Way established by Christ and the apostolic Church? Why do we tend to divide and anathematize each other rather than working together to better discern and practice the will of God? This book offers prayers and suggestions for re-unifying the Christian Church, along with templates for family and liturgical services that should be useful in helping all denominations find their common ground; in empowering us to see our different perspectives as useful tools to better perceive the Truth rather than as points of contention on which to divide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUNITY: The Righteousness Of Power is a title I got from a movie I saw about superheroes coming together in a collaborative effort to save the world from the catastrophic threat of civil disorder. As I was watching this movie, the Holy Spirit began to move on me with a vision to write a book for believers to combat evil forces in this world through the dunamis (power of God). As we come together to use our diverse gifts, we are able to tap into the dunamis and do great things as we stay plugged into the main circuit of power that flows from God.

No matter how bad you or someone else may have caused division in the Church, or in your relationships outside of it, this book shows you how to get back to God and reconcile all your relationships. I highly recommend this book.” –Pastor Stan Nixon, Hartselle, Alabama “UNITY It’s Every Christian’s Call fully illustrates how the power of unity between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit should function throughout the body of Christ. Kevin masterfully pulls together all the aspects of biblical unity that are needed to bring souls into the kingdom. I highly recommend this book to anyone who’s interested in fulfilling God’s plan for their life.” –Terrence Kinney, Former pastor-Better Life Community Church, Cottondale Texas “The pursuit of unity has exploded worldwide...Thank the Lord for Kevin Almond’s clear call for genuine Christian unity available only as we humble ourselves in pursuit of the fullness of Truth only found in Christ alone. To that cause Kevin has given his life.” –Charles Crismier, Attorney and Author Founder – SAVE AMERICA Ministries Radio Host – VIEWPOINT “I’ve known Kevin for over 30 yrs. He’ll help other churches any way he can to bring unity in the body of Christ. I’ve witnessed this time and time again...UNITY It’s Every Christian’s Call is a good book. Kevin breaks it down real simple to understand.” –Pastor Hank Parker, Grace Alive Outreach Church Midlothian VA. “There is much to glean from Kevin’s book, starting with the Introduction...Many in today’s “Church” believe that “unity in the Church” means compromising what God says with what “culture” says. This book stays focused on what the Bible says, not what the world says. UNITY It’s Every Christian’s Call is great for an in-home or Bible study group.” –Donald N.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the second verse of the Bible, we have observed the ministry of the Holy Spirit and have been somewhat confused ever since about what He does! Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to make the New Testament church His main priority. The day of Pentecost was just the beginning; the Holy Spirit wants to encourage, empower, enliven, equip, protect, and pray for our churches now. Each chapter of Empowered: Why We Need Spirit-Filled Churches exposes the reader to a specific aspect of the Spirit's ministry to every church. When taken collectively, it becomes obvious we are utterly dependent upon the Spirit and doomed without Him. In this fast-paced book, readers will be reminded the Holy Spirit is more than a personal counselor to individual believers--He is the presence and power of God for our churches right here and right now.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHave you ever wondered if the church is truly changing people? Why are so many people walking in and out of church meetings today without being transformed by the power of God? David Drew brings us back to Gods original vision for the body of Christ as he takes the lid off deception running rampant in the modern church. The mainstream church appears to have it all together, has good intentions, and in many cases even bears fruit, but doesnt look at all like the church God describes in the Bible. See how it is Gods perfect will and the worlds greatest need for the church to be re-formed in His name, according to the biblical pattern of unity. Drawing from David's experience in ministry as well as recent revelations and encounters, the author offers a wealth of life-transforming truths inside these pages, including: - Why the establishment of thousands of different Christian denominations, groups, and ministries currently in the world, with different names and logos, is incongruous, cannot be Gods will, and bears all the marks of a diabolical master schemer. - Why 90% of the worlds population cant believe, and why our world is in chaos. - Why the Christian churches have lost their power. - Why the enemy's -"divide and conquer" strategy must be stopped dead in its tracks. - How a perfectly united, citywide church can operate in the 21st century. - Why marketplace ministry is a powerful asset to bring citywide transformation. - Why we must cooperate with Jesus and let Him build His church!
